Bernie Sanders has never accepted a corporate check in his 30+ year long career in politics. That's basically his thing. It's what he has been fighting for all his life.
He has an extensive list of personal donors instead, which the corporate democrats tried to get from him.

There's a group called Justice Democrats that are gaining traction. Their one single requirement is: Do not take corporate or pac money. https://justicedemocrats.com/

They have a few members in congress already, iirc.

I knew Bernie banked his campaign off small donors but assumed he might of had a pac or a pac was made by supporters of him.  Reading this article it shows that three were unofficial supporting him but he tried to distance himself from them.

I'll look into the link later.  I wish Bernie and a few others would just resurrect the Progressive Party and steam roll these two shit parties.  I'm ready to see some trust busting.

You would split the democrats, similar to what the progressives did in 1912. The electoral college victory would be massive for the GOP, so not a good idea.
